Joyful Homage

Verse 1

Awake, ye saints, awake! And hail this sacred day; In loftiest songs of praise Your joyful homage pay: Come, bless the day that God hath blest, The type of heaven's eternal rest.

Verse 2

On this all-glorious morn The Lord of life arose; He burst the bars of death, And vanquished all our foes: And now He pleads our cause above, And reaps the fruit of all His love.

Verse 3

All hail, triumphant Lord! Heaven with hosannas rings, And earth in humbler strains, Thy praise responsive sings: Worthy the Lamb, that once was slain, Through endless years to live and reign!

Verse 4

Amen.
